These players ought to be playin' for FREE, I tell ya', by the good graces of this great man to spend his precious time coaching them, it is without excuses or reason why they simply don't live up to this coaching genius and giant among .500 head coaches.

The pretzel logic being displayed for a 35-37 coach is admirable, but ultimately myopic (in the nicest sense of myopia, of course).

I don't know how much validity Jason La Canfora has on NFL Network, but his update about the Texans last night was interesting, if for nothing else than the continuous hum of one chin as it pertains to our football team. He said that McNair gave Kubiak the "vote of confidence", but his fate would be determined by making the playoffs or not. And he specifically mentioned that Cowher is interested in the Houston HC position. Where there's smoke? Btw, has Wade Phillips of the 3-4 D ever worked with Cowher? It's too much to ask, but you know what...I'm in the asking mood right now...

Even though I personally think that Cowher is over-hyped around these parts about his coaching ability (And the fact that he's been out of coaching for 4 years now) I wouldn't mind seeing him paired with Wade Phillips as a DC for this team.

Are we saying it is completely inexcuseable to have lost any of those games?

Is it one game in particular that you think we shouldn't have lost?

I am. Well, to be specific, the way they lost. Losing to the Cowboys is flat inexcusable. Sorry, that's just the way it is. They didn't show up at all for the Giants game, which is inexcusable. They had the Colts figured out and they brain-farted the game away.

The Chargers game I'm not too down on, except for the fact that they only showed up for half a game (again). If the Texans had lost to the Colts or Giants like that, then I'd probably still be in wait and see mode. But I've waited, and I've seen.

Since we're on the subject, the wins against WAS and KC leave a lot to be desired as well. When you only show up to play half a game, you should be damn thankful for beating a team that showed up to play a full game.

And how can people ***** about Mario Williams not fulfilling his potential, when we all see what the offense is capable of, but only for about half a game each week?

"Yes.. In the Colts game .Gary Kubiak told Matt to throw pic six and fumble the ball in the red zone. He shouldnt have called those plays...if he would have been a better coach he would have told Matt that interceptions were bad and to have them returned for TDs really bad.

The Chargers loss was due to the fact Kubiak didnt tell Arian to watch the Calvin Johnson highlights from week one otherwise he would have known to not let ball hit ground. Jacoby should have known that the ball is supposed to be caught in the endzone..I mean cmon you got to coach that up. Andre is so great... Andre is so great..oooops....Andre you dont want to kick the ball with your knee..hey dont they have drills for that? Kubiak should have known his best player wouldnt catch the ball. His qb should never try to get the ball to his best player."

Thank you -Captain Hindsight

I know right. Kubiak should have known that the Colts sucked against the run when they first played the Texans in Week 1 and were going to for sure stop it on MNF. We must pass it there. So what if Arian Foster is still gaining seven yards a carry on them (in the first half, mind you), we have to still pass.

Is it one game in particular that you think we shouldn't have lost?

Absolutely. The loss to Dallas was inexcusable. The Texans weren't even in town for that game much less on the field. Classic example of Gary's team coming out flat and unfocused following a big win. Happens all the time (to us).

The Giants loss was more about effort and overall piss-poor play than the "L" that results. New York has two very good teams and to lose a game to either of them is understandable. To not bother to show up against them in your own stadium is shameful.

We know how to beat the Colts and we demonstrated that "the plan" worked. Then we threw it out the window and hit them with some sneaky Gary-ball and lost anyway. Still, Colts at home is tough and you're not going to win them all so I can accept this.

San Diego? We gave that game away.

This team should be 6-2 right now and on top of the division. If Gary was head coach material he'd have them there.

The Unemployment Line (-3.5) over GARY KUBIAK
Houston plays five of its next seven on the road: at Jacksonville, at the Jets, home for Tennessee, at Philly, home for Baltimore, at Tennessee, at Denver. Brutal stretch. Do you think Bill Cowher will coach the 2011 Texans and Jon Gruden will coach the 2011 Cowboys, or vice versa? Should they flip a coin before the Super Bowl to choose?
